Thoughts that Keeps us Going

Who would have thought God planned a revival under our noses. We knew something was up, when we went through so many Spiritual Warfare stuff. But God really showed off when: (this is only a fraction of what took place)Better Location: after losing our other site, we didn't expect this place turned out to be a better fit for us. All the lighting, A/V and even recording equipment we needed was included with one single donation. Unexpected Reunion: a young lady feeling lonely after graduating from college, missing her college mentor. Then, they met the first night at Encounter. Who would have thought!Planned for 60: months ago James told everyone we're going to have 60 people at the retreat. We had 61.Healing: several healing miracles took place at Encounter and when the teams visited Kaiser Hospital and at Laguna Beach. One guy had a broken leg in a cast. He stood up and balanced himself on the broken leg. One older lady received prayer for her back, even her knees were healed. Her uneven leg grew out in front of many witnesses. With so much excitement, she ran around the room to check. Her grandson in tears received Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is more.Prophetic Words: countless prophetic words were given to attendees of Encounter and were blessed. we were challenged to use prophetic art to convey God's message to people around us. It was miraculous. Personal Breakthrough: many were challenged as they experienced God's awesome power for the first time and have had measurable breakthrough in their faith. Some talked to stranger for the first time to share faith. Community Breakthrough: we prayed for reach other, and laughed together. We danced and sang songs form different tongues. It was crazy but everything was in harmony. the Community bonded so beautifully. It has to be God.
